So, after more than a year here in the forum reading and analyzing everything, i thought it is time to introduce myself..
Living in Athens, Greece, 30 years old now, married 2 months ago (NOT good for a pit-builder..
).. but anyway, she know it from the beggining!!
I wanted to be a pilot since 5.. 6.. somewhere there. I passed the
exams but at the end failed because a airforce doctor believed that it "should be better not to flight fighters" due to history of ulcer i had some years before..
"Every difficulty for a good" as we say in Greece, no fighters no planes..
I am now an IT admin somewhere
(can tell
) so meaning pc-freak. Passed though various hobbies, modelling, aero-models, scuba diving, electric guitars (yeahh.. MetallicA rulesss baby!!
) and of course.. simulators!! I didn't manage to make my dream true, but i consider my self lucky. I have many good friends inside HAF, and i can at least beyond other things "write down" some hours in real FS
.. (BTW, for one more time.. F-16 pit is MATCCHHH more pilot-friendly than the Mirage 2000, even -5's!!
)
Flying simulators since F-19 game, Falcon4 was a point-in-time.. I still remember reading at Frugals sometime about the up-coming HOTAS Cougar back then..
I remember one
day getting in a computer games store and seeing that big-beautiful-known-package waiting there.. The store was the only one selling the Cougar in Greece back then. After some minutes in the first-available bank i've maid it mine for 400 plus euros.. (now i can find it 200!! well time changed!..)
I am member of e-HAF (Greek Falcon community), and i/we now use OF4.5 for our flights.. (RV is good for eyes, but until there..
) We have our theater flying but we are waiting for the even better EMF to arrive.. (I hope to be out before FOps..
)
Bellow my old room.. Old meaning in the old house before my marriage. Ohh yes, and my (now) wife lived there with me, so see knows the future!
(haven't "modified" the new house yet because..
)

And this is the picture that started it aaaalllllll...:::

I pass *most* of my day thinking what should i use in the pit, electronics, materials etc.. I go shopping with my wife to markets (just) to see (
) what i could find to use with my pit!! (Actually Charos told me the same thing sometime, so m8, you are a pit-builder also!!
)
Well, Nikolas is a great guy
.. Serfing in here, i noticed that he was a Greek!! I sent him a PM and soon after we met for coffee among with some others -you know, this crazy bastards how spend money for this hobby..
I have to say the best words for him, not because i am waiting for a pait of his MFD's
, but because he really answered me many questions regarding solutions.. Well at the end he is a electronic-freak!! :hugegrin:
So, soon i will start posting my progress.. No pit yet (toooo soon..
), but i collect all the required parts, switches and electronics for the (near i hope) future.
Thank you all guys around the world for having and sharing this hobby with me and others, nothing would be possible by one person!!
This is for you!
